Phoenix – Under a new plan from the USFWS, the endangered
Mexican gray wolf would have a lot more room to roam in Arizona and New
Mexico. That is, as long as it doesn’t
cross Interstate 40…Michael Robinson, a conservation advocate with the Center
for Biological Diversity, called the I-40 limit a “bureaucratic Berlin Wall for
wolves” created under pressure from state governments and the livestock
industry. …“Scientists have identified those two ecosystems [southern Rocky
Mountain and Grand Canyon ecosystems] as places wolves will have to occupy in
order to recover.”
